Tink’s Black Label

If one scent product is iconic in the deer-hunting industry, it’s Tink’s #69 Doe-in-Rut. So how do you make the best better?

The folks at Tink’s, who have been branding and bottling their deer lure since 1972, have certainly tried. This fall, they’ve brought out a top-drawer version of the classic, Tink’s Black Label, in limited quantities, for hunters who want the best of the best.

Black Label is a doe-urine scent collected from does that are fed a special diet to keep them in optimum health, and it’s in a concentrated formula, collected from the peak of a doe’s estrus cycle. Black Label comes in a 2-ounce bottle that’s inscribed with the date the bottle was filled, so hunters know exactly how fresh their lure is.
